Laboratory Services

Decades of research into the genetic basis of disease has driven a shift towards precision medicines that use a patient’s genomic, environmental and lifestyle parameters to guide the treatment and management of their disease.

This has heavily influenced drug discovery, diagnosis and treatment. It has required advances like the development of complex molecular analyses and identification of novel biomarkers. These advances, in turn, are driving the market for increasingly specialized outsourced laboratory services.

With deep expertise in laboratory services, Ampersand’s team has established impactful collaborations with portfolio companies working in this area. Adding value alongside our investments through market knowledge, strategic acumen, a large network, and decades of operational experience, Ampersand is able to offer a differentiating platform for growth.
